Setting a warning distance for City
Safety
73
City Safety is always active, but the func-
tion's warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti-
vated. It is activated automatically each
time the engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity of
the system and regulates the distance at
which the light, sound and brake pulsations
will be activated.
To select warning distance:
1. Select Settings My Car
in the center display's Top view.
2. Under City Safety Warning
Normal or Early to set the desired warn-

You should therefore never test use of
City Safety in the direction of people,
animals or vehicles – this could lead to
severe damage, serious personal injury
or even death.
City Safety warns the driver if there is a

risk of collision, but the function cannot
reduce the driver's reaction time.
Even if the warning distance has been

set to Early , warnings may be per-
ceived as late in certain situations –
e.g. when there are large speed differ-
ences or if the vehicle ahead suddenly
brakes heavily.
With the warning distance set to

warnings come further in advance. This
may cause the warnings to come more
frequently than with warning distance

can make City Safety more effective.
